Lyrics
BLUE EYES
Back before that girl was gone, 'fore I got my first gun
I laid on the grassy lawn and stared into the sun
Take it in a canvas sack when that's all you can do
Walls a'shakin', painted black when everything looked blue
Spread-eagle and green but somehow, somewhat yellow
Came across the desert screaming "hello"
Take it back to whence it came, I don't run that mess
Cabin fever, driven sane, dance in that purple dress
"For if you love those who love you, what reward have you?"*
Do not even those above you watch your mind turn blue?
Spread-eagle and green but somehow, somewhat yellow
From across the road you can hear me bellow
(Whistle, daughter, whistle, and you shall have a goat
I can't whistle, mother, because it hurts my throat)
Why be mourned by the choir or beaten by the band
When I got stone and steel and fire down here in my hand?
Came to town without a name in a '78 Mustang II
Something tells me it'll be the same when everything looks blue
Spread-eagle and green but somehow, somewhat yellow
Howling Jesus' name in that black bordello
*[Matthew 5:46]
